DRAWERMPU LL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,374, dated May 27, 1884.

Application led May 14, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it 11i/ty concer/t.-

Be it known that I, OWEN F. GARVEY, of

Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Drawer Pulls; and I hereby declare the following` to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being hadtothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

. This invention has reference to an improvement in the class of drawer-pulls in which a ring is hinged lin a frame, so that when not in use the face will be ilush with the face of the drawer; and it consists in constructing the same of circular form, so that the whole may be embedded in-the wood, andl the recess be formed by a center-bit auger, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a view of my improved drawerpull. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same, showing` the same secured by one screw. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the drawer-pull scoured by pins, and Fig. 4: is a sectional view of the same.

In the drawings, A is a piece of wood, into which the drawer-pull B is sunk. c is a ring secured at the upper end by a pivot, so that it can be raised into the horizontal position shown in Figs. 2 and 4. d is the face-plate of the cup-shaped frame e. This face-plate has heretofore been made square or oblong, and was provided with screw-holes in the four corners. It required time and skill to let such a faceplate into the wood, first, because,when a number of such drawer-pulls are placed on -a number of drawers, they must be all accu! rately placed with the lines of their sides parallel to each other, requiring considerable skill, and the cavity must be cut with a chisel, not only of uniform and the required depth, but accurately, so as to fit the face-plate. By constructing the frame and face-plate circular, as is shown in the drawings, a center-bit auger can be used to cut away the wood of exactly the right diameter to accurately fit the face-plate d, and a stop can 'be formed on the auger, so that the requisite depth only will be cut, and the face-plate will beiembedded even as shown in Fig. 8, to t the concave, or as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The drawer-pull may `now be secured in various ways. It may be secured by screws, as shown in Fig. l, by one central screw, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, or by means of wire nails, as shown in Fig. 3.

The faceplate d and concave c are made in one piece, and these have heretofore been made of cast metal. By making them circular in form, they can be struck up of sheet metal in suitable dies, and thus can be produced much cheaper than when made of cast metal, as they require little or no nishing. As they are firmly tted in the wood, they will be as strong and durable as they would have been as previously made.

I do not wish to confine myself to the construction of sheet metal, as the same may be made of cast metal.

By placing the securing devices inside the concave plate, these securing devices are practi cally concealed from view, andthe whole device presents a finished surface.

I am aware that a flat face-plate having rounded ends with a semicircular piece hinged thereto to close outside thereof has been described. Such I do not claim.

I-Iaving thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secu re by Letters Patentl. A drawer-pull consisting of the concave e, provided with annular faceplate d, and the hinged ring c, pivoted to said plate so as to close into the same, substantially as set forth.

2. A drawer-pull consisting of the concave e, having suitable securing devices in its interior, and provided with annular faceplate d, and the hinged ring c, pivoted to said plate so as to close inside ofthe same, as shown and set forth.

OWEN F. GABVEY.
